Chapter 549: Chapter 513: Dare to Ask, Whose Son is Like Me? (2nd Update)

Diane Zimmer and Bella Xenos returned to the alliance in utter defeat, making the higher-ups like Dallas Zimmer grimace.

"Find the brat, even if you have to turn Dark City upside down!"

Dallas Zimmer made the command, banging his fist on the table.

Another family leader reminded him with a dark face, "Dallas, have you forgotten the Slaughter Squad that just decimated the common alliance? Or how you were beaten into a pitiful state?"

Dallas Zimmer’s cheek muscles twitched several times, his face turning an ashen color.

Diane Zimmer said, "It’s my responsibility. I couldn’t stop him."

"It’s not about you, it’s about the cunning brat," Dallas Zimmer snapped.

"Chairman, there are people from several families outside pleading for an audience. They want the alliance to help them seek justice," a guard rushed in and reported to Dallas Zimmer.

The alliance members all frowned.

Seeking justice was easier said than done, considering the atrocities they had committed.

With the Slaughter Squad in Dark City obstructing them, no one was willing to touch this ominous situation.

And how does one even find the lad who seemed to have evaporated into thin air?

"Great Grandfather, isn’t there someone from the Stephens Family training in Dark City?" The words of Diane Zimmer instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Everyone exchanged glances, and all found a scapegoat.

Dallas Zimmer said coldly, "Tell them the exact location of the Stephens Family lad."

The guard turned around and left.

Diane Zimmer became interested in the member of the Stephens Family outside. Who exactly was this person who possessed such an impressive cultivation?

At the same time, she planned to leave Dark City for a while.

Alex Stephens had no idea that he had inadvertently provoked several families, which made his future training much more challenging.

Chloe Stephens did this in anticipation of the possibility that others would cause trouble for Alex.

Once Timothy Stephens’ matter got out, the Davies Family probably wouldn’t ignore it.

As Chloe Stephens had predicted, the Davies Family quickly withdrew from the alliance. They even actively compensated the alliance, so the alliance did not pursue the Davies Family’s abrupt exit.

Jason Davies and the Davies Family would keep a close eye on Alex Stephens’ every move in the dark.

Facing the danger encountered by Adam Stephens’ adopted son, Jason Davies wouldn’t just stand by.

Chloe Stephens calculated all this unintentionally, not worried that Alex Stephens would be hit hard, but gained experience in the process.

Back at the exit of Sheffield City.

Chloe Stephens was standing in front of the bus stop when a figure came and stood beside her.

Chloe Stephens gave the person standing next to her a glance.

It was Albert Webb.

Albert Webb gave her a faint smile, lacking his usual brightness.

After going to Dark City, he had changed a lot.

"I didn’t expect to encounter you as the first person after coming out."

Chloe Stephens, with her hands in her pockets and gazing straight ahead, looked quite tall and slender. Her aura and Qi field naturally suppressed everything.

For the first time, Albert Webb felt that the distance between him and her seemed so vast.

"I... was wrong to blame you for that incident."

The girl finally looked at him.

Albert Webb explained, "I thought the scars were left by the others. I was unaware that you had helped at the scene. If I knew, I wouldn’t have said those hurtful words."

"I’ve never taken it to heart," Chloe’s words whitened Albert’s face.

It was as if he heard something like, "Don’t think too much of yourself."

Albert Webb smiled bitterly with a pale face, "I shouldn’t have said those words to you."

"It makes me think that one shouldn’t be good to others."

Albert Webb’s face turned even paler.

He didn’t even have the courage to speak.

"Even if you do good things, you should promote it."

Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

As her chilly voice fell, Albert Webb felt as if the world around him had come to a halt.

Chloe Stephens watched the buses passing by without moving.

The two of them just stood there quietly.

Albert Webb moved his numb legs and took a step forward. Just then, a bus stopped.

"This kind of thing will not happen again, Chloe, I genuinely consider you a friend."

"Honk honk honk!!"

The bus horn blared loudly.

The driver was an Auntie. She couldn’t even wait a few seconds and yelled impatiently at the two people outside, "Do you kids want to get on the bus or not? What’s the dawdling for, are you performing a drama in front of everyone? Kid, stop being so pretentious, get on the bus, throw coins, swipe the card!"

Auntie’s voice was exceptionally loud, overpowering the sound of horns in the vicinity.

Albert Webb was thin-skinned and felt extremely embarrassed being stared at by so many people at once.

"Let’s go, let’s go quickly..." Albert Webb tugged at the corner of Chloe Stephens’s clothes, urging her to get in the car quickly.

As soon as they got in the car, everyone else in the vehicle turned to look at them.

Albert Webb, who had been tugging at Chloe Stephens’s clothes, let go and made an awkward cough.

He was completely humiliated!

But Chloe Stephens was calm, seemingly impervious to embarrassment.

Albert Webb admired that.

Before Albert Webb could get off the bus, Chloe Stephens quickly exited without looking back.

Looking at Chloe’s somewhat rushed pace, Albert Webb couldn’t help but laugh.

It turned out she was embarrassed as well.

All his gloominess was instantly swept away!

They returned to Building 3 of the Stephens Family.

The servants immediately informed the people in Building 1.

Elliot Xenos came over quickly, and the first thing he said when he saw Chloe Stephens was, "There are some rituals in the Stephens Family where descendants must participate together. The family leader has requested Miss Chloe Stephens to come over."

"What kind of ritual?"

Elliot Xenos, considering the opposition of some elders and family seniors, hesitated before saying, "It’s the succession ceremony for the previous family leader."

"Since it’s a lineage inheritance, I presume it excludes women."

So what was the point of asking her to be present?

"Mr. Alex Stephens is not here, so..."

"So, am I a substitute?"

"It’s not quite like that. With Miss Chloe Stephens’s abilities, no one can replace her."

"Even so, I am still a woman." Chloe seemed to realize something, saying, "Father and Mother must be in a difficult position again."

Elliot Xenos didn’t want to say too much, "Now that we have Mr. Alex Stephens, they can’t be troubled anymore. It’s just that some elders feel that due to Alex’s lack of blood relationship, he is not suited to conduct such a ceremony..."

"I understand."

Elliot Xenos breathed a sigh of relief.

Stephens Ancestral Hall.

It was crowded with people, inside and out.

Timothy Stephens had been brought back to the Stephens family, and preparations were being made to legitimize his position. At the same time, they had to explain his real relationship with Adam Stephens, which would require some time to handle.

This process had been prolonged, and only now was a ceremony being held for Timothy Stephens.

Each family had its own lineage.

This succession ceremony was like passing on all the honors of one’s life to their descendants, preferably those with a blood relationship.

The old saying went,

The one who takes on the succession will receive a portion of the elder’s power, and then continue to pass it onto the next generation.

Of course, this is just a family tradition, and it is not to say that there is really a ceremony that can gain the cultivation of the ancestors.

Normally, this should have been handled by Adam Stephens and Alex Stephens, but some people opposed it.

Feeling that if Alex could do it, then their grandchildren could, too.

Alex wasn’t there, everyone was clamoring to put forth their sons or grandsons.

Unfortunately, Chloe Stephens returned.

Everyone suddenly changed their stance, raising the issue that a woman couldn’t be the family heir, as, after getting married, she would belong to another family. She couldn’t enter the real ancestral temple, so she couldn’t be considered a real member of the Stephens Family.

After Elliot Xenos left, everyone was still hotly debating the ceremony for the grandchildren to present incense.

When Chloe Stephens and Elliot Xenos walked in together, the room instantly fell silent.

Surely, Chloe Stephens had left them with quite an impression. Seeing her in person, they didn’t even dare to fart.

Adam Stephens sneered to himself. In front of the strong, these people were nothing more than cowards.

Chloe Stephens nodded at Pierce Stephens, who was presiding over the ceremony, and then she walked to the red coffin, looking at the items prepared for the ceremony.

She turned around to look at the numerous members of the Stephens Family gathered there, all wearing mourning attire, to show their respect.

When Chloe Stephens turned around, everyone instinctively took a small step back.

"The traditions of old are dominated by you men, so of course, a woman has no right. Today, I stand here as his granddaughter, and you may object. But may I ask, which of your sons are like me?"

This indifferent sentence abruptly manifested a surge of spirit in the crowd!

No one in the room spoke.

The silence was terrifying.

They revered the strong!
